The Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games. The Orange are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. The under is 5-2 in Tigers last 7 overall. The under is 7-1 in Orange last 8 home games. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 

The Syracuse Orange are a tough team at home and should be favored here, but we’re getting a free bucket with the team playing the better basketball. The Clemson Tigers are winning by an average of 12.2 points while allowing 38.4 percent shooting during their five-game winning streak, snd they already comfortably beat Syracuse this season. Accurate line, but I find some value with Clemson and the free bucket.
